... and everyone who hates it has probably not tried it or just hates MS (aka Apple/Linux fanboys/girls)
:rolleyes:

Sure, there are some Apple and Linux people who just hate everything Microsoft. But look at this thread starter. Pro-XP, anti-Vista. And throughout Neowin and other tech forums, a lot of the anti-Vista sentiment comes from people who also say they will keep using XP.

Sure, you might have a strong reaction to someone trolling Apple or Linux against Vista, but the majority of complaints are from who uses the majority OS: XP.

1) i do, to watch tv, as do countless other people, it actually is a great pvr

2) used it one or two times to make a dvd without having to think too much. Doesn't use any resources when you don't use it

3) not using a lot of resources, never had spyware or viruses, never tried something else

4) uses no resources (except a few mb of hard disk space)

5) same as 4 and I assume some people use it

In fact, I assume a lot of people use dvd maker too, for someone who doesn't know the first thing about making dvd's it's a godsent. You on the other hand assume way to much, it's not because you don't like somethig other people don't use it.

You have been throwing all kind of FUD around in this topic, regarding server 2008 and vista and actually have proved just one thing: <snipped>

I may be an ignorant prick, but you don't seem to be far behind with your lack of intelligence and manners. Widows has become a bloated mess with useless applications that are never updated or enhanced in any way, shape or form (Paint, Word, DVD Maker, etc, etc). Most people end up buying something else to replace them. Microsoft is so proud of their Latest creations that they use Linux servers...<snipped>.

So, are those the same people that said they'd continue using 98/2000 when XP came out? ;)

Also, techies are a minority compared to average Joe/Jane. So, when average joe/jane hears the false Vista perspective, they will stick to XP for as long as they can (which is exactly what happened with XP, except that hardware in previous years was weak, so people had to essientally buy new computers and thats how many average Joe/Jane get a new hands on experience with the new OS)

It sounds like you're trying to put Windows Server 2008 down, yet you use it as a desktop OS?

I am not putting it down at all. Do I think its better than Vista? Yes. I rather have it than Vista. Do I like Linux? of course I do. Would I switch from Windows to Linux if it was supported by all software and hardware manufacturers like Windows is? the answer is 100% yes. Do I think Linux is better than Windows? You bet I do.

Ok time for school

XP had less process running because at the time most of the processes were a all in 1 process so in vista Ms has separated then so if 1 process crashes it wont take down an entire Lott of them and or the system so vista while it may have added few more cause of new things new features take those new ones away and you got the same amount of processes running as XPjust not combined in a single process

Simple and easy way to say it is this: Each process is separated and now in its own Memory Pool so they are individually protected

You have a rather bizarre and unique definition of the word 'better'.

Please, considering the barely marginal grasp you have on the most basic of Windows knowledge, please, just switch to Ubuntu for...say, a month. Just one month. Don't use Windows in any way, shape or form for 30 days. Blog it...I would be ecstatic to read it.

I have used Ubuntu and it is better than Windows. Too bad it is not supported by anybody enough. And by the way, I have more knowledge about Windows than you think.

Yes, but Vista Premium has more services running. Vista business doesn't have certain things that Premium version has.

You do understand that the presence of a service memory doesn't mean it's taking up resources, and that Vista will unload services over time right? This isn't XP, and the memory manager and process managers are far more vigorous and intelligent.

I have used Ubuntu and it is better than Windows. Too bad it is not supported by anybody enough. And by the way, I have more knowledge about Windows than you think.

Ehhh... no it isn't, and if you really knew as much about Windows as you think you do it would be reflected in your replies... which it isn't. It's quite fine you don't care for Vista, but don't confuse your opinion with facts.

So, you criticize Scorbing for putting his opinions out as facts? All the while stating your opinion as a fact.

Well rather than this staying entirely on topic, this thread has once again turned into the usual fair of posts regarding

the word Vista. Why does it cause such an uproar amongst the tech community? There are many, many other things

people could discuss, argue, debate, criticize...but why does it seem to come full circle to Vista? Is there nothing else

to talk about? Apple's next incarnation of their OS? The next generation of video cards or game consoles? It just seems

stale to me to continually beat this horse. Some people like it and others don't...why is that so hard to understand?

I for one bought Vista as a "uninformed" consumer that was content with XP on my desktop and laptop. I play a few

games, use Word, browse the internet, and burn dvds/cds from time to time. I switched over and then proceeded to learn

along the way. Its an operating system, which means it will have bugs, incompatibilities, and some issues for users. Why

people think that there is one "catch-all" answer to Vista as an OS that will satisfy everyone's is just foolish. You can't

possibly make everyone happy, no matter how much money or time is spent. While Vista probably didn't roll out as expected

due to bugs and drivers, the individuals that look towards Seven as the coming of the next Messiah is a little bloated I think.

In the end, I think people need to step back and look at the bigger picture. Microsoft is a business, and businesses make money.

As long as they continue to work to support their software and update it, then why should the hostility continue? Its entirely too

convenient to just "hate" Microsoft when other companies are likely experiencing the same problems or will in the future.

My personal philosophy is to always use the latest version of Windows at home because I might as well get used to it sooner rather than later. My philosophy at work (particularly in regards to other people) is to always use the oldest version of Windows that Microsoft still supports.

In terms of the relative differences between them? Meh. One's prettier. Neither is Windows ME. Older versions require hundreds of megabytes of updates to get up to speed. Again, meh. I don't reinstall them every month.

That's because some people here are so obsessed with Vista that they don't want to accept the fact that there are other OSs out there better than Vista. Just like Firefox, people are obsessed with it and it is over-rated and there are other browsers out there that are better than Firefox (example: Opera). Opera's security is impecable yet how many security issues has Firefox had? Oh well.

Scorbing: Why do you put things that way? Suggesting that "Firefox seems to be safer to me" sounds much more believable

as one's opinion than stating "____ is better than Firefox". I'm not telling you what to believe or not believe, but your statements

tend to come across as a loudly stated fact rather than your individual opinion.

Perhaps they DO recognize there are other operating systems available, but it may be the case that their work requires a particular

OS such as my friend's work in graphic design. She has been using Apple and is content with it. Some companies or organizations

may use Vista/XP/2000 because that is what their framework is built on. I can only imagine the money and time it would take to

transfer a large enterprise-level company from OS to another and train all its employees in the use of the new OS.

I do agree that people tend to buy the latest and greatest and maybe think its the only thing out there. However, I think that people

are smarter than you give them credit for.

I have never said Firefox is a bad product, I just don't think its the best out there like some people claim it to be. I have never in any way, shape or form ever called anyone here stupid nor do I think any of you are. I think this forum is full of very talented, smart people. I on the other hand, have been insulted and humiliated through out the years I've been here, yet I have never offended anyone with names or ever called anyone "dumb" or thought they were stupid just because their opinion is different than mine. The minute I mention my opinion about Vista or something related to it, I get attacked and I am called a "prick" or I have no intelligence.

I am smarter than you give me credit for.

Well writing in bold and/or italics I think changes people's perception of what you are trying to say, and I agree

that the community here is very bright and talented.

Vista is what it is, as is OS X, Ubuntu, Fedora, etc...people seem to flock to the "popular" thing. Why don't we agree

to disagree and leave it at that?

I was the first person in my city (I believe) to get Vista. I went to BestBuy the morning it got released, asked for it and nobody knew what I was talking about, except one manager, who took me to the back room and opened up the first shippment of Vista and Office 2007. Spent $450 and I absolutely don't regret it. I have not had a single problem yet and my computer is running better than ever. Proud Vista user since launch.

Well, I've started using Vista 3 weeks ago and I have to say that Home Basic/Premium SUCKS because the explorer would crash every 3 minutes :s now, Business edition is another story :D very happy with it, no problems here.

Mmmm.....Interesting. I wonder why that happens on Basic & Home Premium and not on Business?

    • The Light of Life? We actually do glow till our Death, study finds

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      The Light of Life? We actually do glow till our Death, study finds by Sayan Sen Image by Rafael Rendon via Pexels A study by researchers at the University of Calgary has found that living organisms produce an extremely faint light known as ultraweak photon emission, and that this glow appears to drop significantly after death. The research was published in the Journal of Physical Chemistry in April 2025 and quickly drew widespread attention, leading to more than 200 news stories about the findings. Ultraweak photon emission (or UPE), sometimes called biophoton emission, refers to tiny amounts of light released by living cells as a result of normal biological activity. A photon is the basic particle of light, and researchers say every living system examined so far, including plants and animals, has been found to emit these photons. The glow is far too faint to be seen by the human eye. “I suppose it has a little to do with people being reminded of auras,” says Dr. Christoph Simon, PhD, one of the authors of the study and a professor in the Department of Physics and Astronomy in the Faculty of Science. “It is a fact that living beings glow. It’s a very weak glow, but it’s there and visible with very sensitive cameras.” According to the study, the light involved is extremely weak, ranging from 10 to 1,000 photons per square centimetre per second across a spectral range of 200 to 1,000 nanometres. For comparison, a nanometre is one-billionth of a metre and is commonly used to measure wavelengths of light. Detecting emissions at such low levels requires highly specialized equipment. To study the phenomenon, researchers used electron-multiplying charge-coupled device (EMCCD) and charge-coupled device (CCD) cameras. These imaging systems are designed to detect extremely small amounts of light, including individual photons, while minimizing background noise. The technology allowed researchers to capture signals that would otherwise be impossible to observe. The team worked with the Human Health Therapeutics Research Centre at the National Research Council of Canada (NRC) in Ottawa to examine photon emissions in mice. Researchers took two-hour exposure images of the animals before and after death and compared the results. “We saw that the level of light that they emit – this biophoton glow – is distinctly different between living and dead animals,” says Dr. Daniel Oblak, PhD, an associate professor in Physics and Astronomy and the corresponding author of the study. The images showed a clear decrease in photon emissions after death across the entire body of each mouse. According to the researchers, this provided direct evidence that living and dead tissue produce different levels of ultraweak photon emission. “It’s a very small amount and it’s, of course, very tricky to detect,” Oblak says. The study grew out of discussions between Simon, whose research interests include quantum biology, and Oblak, whose work focuses on detecting light for quantum communication experiments. Quantum biology is a field that explores whether processes described by quantum physics, which studies matter and energy at very small scales, may also play a role in living systems. “Since I work as a quantum physicist on light detection for quantum communication, I thought that experimentally we have a lot of the tools to be able to detect the light,” Oblak explains. The researchers also investigated UPE in plants and found that the light changed in response to stress. When plants were exposed to higher temperatures or physically injured, their photon emissions increased. Chemical treatments also affected the glow. Among the substances tested, the local anesthetic benzocaine produced the strongest emission response when applied to injured plant tissue. These findings suggest that ultraweak photon emission is closely linked to biochemical and metabolic activity inside living organisms. Metabolism refers to the chemical reactions that allow cells and organisms to stay alive and function. Because these reactions change when an organism experiences stress, injury or disease, researchers believe UPE may provide a way to monitor those changes. The researchers stress that the glow is a physical and biological phenomenon, not a metaphysical one. Oblak says more research is needed to understand exactly how the light is produced and what information it may reveal about the condition of living tissue. “We must understand what that is to figure out what’s happening,” he says. “If we can understand how that relates to certain influences on the body – stress, diseases – then that could be used as a diagnostic tool.” The researchers believe the technique could eventually help scientists study health and disease without invasive procedures. Because UPE can be measured without adding dyes, markers or labels, it may offer a way to monitor whether tissue is healthy, damaged or alive. In plants, it could help researchers better understand how organisms respond to injury, heat and other forms of stress. While the work is still in its early stages, the study demonstrates that ultraweak photon emission imaging can provide a non-invasive and label-free way to observe biological activity. Researchers say the approach could become a useful tool for studying vitality, stress responses and other important processes in both animals and plants.

      Rufus 4.15.2393 Beta 2 by Razvan Serea Rufus is a small utility that helps format and create bootable USB flash drives, such as USB keys/pendrives, memory sticks, etc. Despite its small size, Rufus provides everything you need! Oh, and Rufus is fast. For instance it's about twice as fast as UNetbootin, Universal USB Installer or Windows 7 USB download tool, on the creation of a Windows 7 USB installation drive from an ISO (with honorable mention to WiNToBootic for managing to keep up). It is also marginally faster on the creation of Linux bootable USBs from ISOs. A non-exhaustive list of Rufus supported ISOs is available here. It can be especially useful for cases where: you need to create USB installation media from bootable ISOs (Windows, Linux, UEFI, etc.) you need to work on a system that doesn't have an OS installed you need to flash a BIOS or other firmware from DOS you want to run a low-level utility Rufus 4.15.2393 Beta 2 changelog: Add RISC-V 64 support to UEFI:NTFS Improve the guards for using the "silent" option Improve the ability to cancel during write retries Improve progress reporting for compressed image extraction Fix unrestricted XML entity expansion and integer overflow in ezxml parser (courtesy of @esadowski4) [GHSA-55r2-34wg-8mv9] Fix "silent" Windows installation failing at 75% in most cases [#2960] Fix a crash during boot when using UEFI:NTFS on Snapdragon X based ARM64 platforms [#2934] Fix the first WUE option always being checked by default [#2965] Fix an infinite loop when using Windows ISOs that contain multiple WIMs Fix "Enable runtime UEFI media validation" checkbox not always being properly enabled Other WUE improvements/fixes for OneDrive removal and username validation (with thanks to @christian8641) [#2984, #2991] Download: Rufus 4.15 Beta 2 | 1.9 MB (Open Source) Links: Rufus Home Page | Project Page @GitHub | Screenshot Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
    • Tixati 3.43

      By Copernic · Posted

      Tixati 3.43 by Razvan Serea Tixati is a free and easy to use BitTorrent client featuring detailed views of all seed, peer, and file transfer properties. Also included are powerful bandwidth charting and throttling capabilities, and a full DHT implementation. Tixati is one of the most advanced and flexible BitTorrent clients available. And unlike many other clients, Tixati contains NO SPYWARE, NO ADS, and NO GIMMICKS. Tixati portable version is meant to run on a USB flash drive or other portable media. It stores all its configuration files in the same folder as the executable binary files, and all file paths are stored in a format relative to the program executable folder. It is important you do not delete the "tixati_portable_mode.txt" file within the executables folder. This file is what triggers Tixati to run in portable mode. (The executable binaries are actually the same as the standard edition binaries.) When running the portable edition from a USB flash drive, especially one that is formatted in FAT16/FAT32, you may experience some lag when initially loading a new transfer. This is because initializing and allocating large files on flash-based media consumes a greater amount of time and resources compared to a conventional hard-drive. Tixati has the following features: detailed views of all aspects of the swarm, including peers, pieces, files, and trackers support for magnet links, so no need to download .torrent files if a simple magnet-link is available super-efficient peer choking/unchoking algorithms ensure the fastest downloads peer connection encryption for added security full DHT (Distributed Hash Table) implementation for trackerless torrents, including detailed message traffic graphs and customizable event logging advanced bandwidth charting of overall traffic and per-transfer traffic, with separate classification of protocol and file bytes, and with separate classification of outbound traffic for trading and seeding highly flexible bandwidth throttling, including trading/seeding proportion adjustment and adjustable priority for individual transfers and peers bitfield graphs that show the completeness of all downloaded files, what pieces other peers have available, and the health of the overall swarm customizable event logging for each download, and individual event logs for all peers within the swarm expert local file management functions which allow you to move files to a different partition even while downloading is still in progress 100% compatible with the BitTorrent protocol Windows and Linux-GTK native versions available Tixati 3.43 changelog: Several major DHT improvements Added several screening heuristics to filter malicious DHT nodes, prevent Sybil floods Rewrote DHT search algorithms to add support for multi-path lookups Improved DHT logging, more details in several error messages Extended timeout lengths for outgoing queries over I2P Added incoming query / response per second to DHT table status display Updated Regex engine to PCRE2 Faster Search function, scans
